xbox gonna die???

Guest

got 2 new games for my xbox, revenge of sith & lego star wars, but if i make any progress the dvd drive starts to stutter the games slow down eventually leading to - "your disc is either dirty or damaged"

Both are brand new games.

It also happened with serious sam - in fact it was unplayable, and it happens alot with midway arcade treasures. Strangely, with PGR2 it happens rarely.

Ive heard of problems with xboxes, but I dont think there are particularly more problems than with a PS2 for example.

If you still get problems, try and borrow a disk cleaner and clean the drives, or clean the cds. I dont think overheating would cause this problem... Ill have a think about what could cause it and get back to you if I come up with anything...

If its faulty it probably aint worth repairing. Put t this way you are already £16 into that route and it dosnt seem to have helped. You could try taking it to a local computer fair and see if the mod people can repair for a reasonable price.

or buy a new one (Which is the route I would take)... I saw a nearly new Xbox Crystal going for £85 delivered with game extra controller and decent video cable recently.....
